Overview

• Werder Bremen has won four consecutive Bundesliga matches, their longest streak in over a decade, moving them to eighth place and within striking distance of European qualification.
• Key to the turnaround has been the return of captain Marco Friedl, whose presence has drastically improved defensive stability, reducing goals conceded from 3.1 to 1.2 per game.
• Oliver Burke has delivered crucial goals during this run, even as he prepares to leave the club in the summer transfer window.
• Coach Ole Werner credits the team’s resurgence to improved fitness, strong group dynamics, and regained confidence, with late-game patience yielding decisive results.
• Sunday’s match against St. Pauli is pivotal, with Bremen chasing their first European campaign since 2010/11, while St. Pauli fights to avoid relegation.
